Low Carbon Steels

Description

Low Carbon Steels (aka mild steel) are those with relatively more carbon than electrical steels (usually 0.05% to 0.3% C). This folder also contains magnetic properties of other steels, such as structural steels, tool steels etc which contain Carbon upto ~2%. It includes a variety of carbon steels, e.g., 10xx series steels, 4340 etc in cold/hot rolled, annealed/ un-annealed conditions. It also lists six grades of pure iron (ie. carbon removed as much as possible, so has higher permeability and does not suffer from aging).

These steels are very lossy above ~ 5 Hz. So they are used mostly in applications that carry large flux at low flux densities and frequencies. These include rotors, pole pieces, solenoids, actuators, lifting magnets etc. They are more ductile and machinable than electrical steels. Because of higher carbon content, they are prone to aging. Their magnetic properties can vary with manufacturer, heat, form and annealing. They are available as sheets, rods, tubes etc in fully annealed or hardened condition.

By downloading this folder you will have 159 files on magnetic properties of low carbon steels produced worldwide at your finger tips!

Please review theUser Manualfor more technical information on these materials. The version 4 contains several less-known facts on magnetic properties of these steels; they will help you to better utilize these materials for magnetic purpose.
